Great to see that the augment kits are level-tiered. Will that be tiers 1 to 6 (similar to the crew skill level tiers) ?

Similar progression to crafting.

Yes.

Yes. This is how the RE system functions in this scenario. There’s a chance we may explore something scaled by different item types in the future, but it is not currently possible for the augment component.

You can apply any augment kit to any equippable green+ item. (ie: not junk loot)

When you view any augment, the tooltip will say what level of augment slot it requires.

As long as the item you want to put the augment in has that level of slot or greater, then you can apply the augment.

All other modding rules are followed (such as passing requirements down to the original item).

So for your level 10 item, if you know you will use it until 50, then you should apply the highest level kit and replace the augment as you level. If you use a lower tier kit and reach a point where you want to place augments higher than the kit originally used on the item, you will need to upgrade the augment slot using a new kit.

Does this adequately cover the questions about how the tiers function?

4.5k-50k depending on tier.

All items. Head/chest/legs/hands/feet/waist/wrist/implant/earpiece/mainhand/offhand/relic/droid slots. And if I missed something, that too

~31k/93k in 1.3. In terms of static credits for this case, it costs a little bit more to extract + augment in 1.3 than it does to just extract in 1.2.

To get the augment slot, I need to RE 10 items. But, the question is, any lev 400 armstech weapon be sufficient, or do I need to craft 10x orange lev 400 weapons, to get an augment hit.

If it’s the latter case, then the crafting system will be pointless, becasue, if I make 10 orange blasters, there is a nice change, especially with armstech crit companion, that I’ll get augmented weapon before I get an augment.

You need to craft 10x equippable items from any skill in the same augment tier. In this case, that means any level 400 armstech weapon should suffice. In future tiers, it may be difficult to find cheap recipes. With the introduction of augment tables, all existing level 49+ gear is in the MK-6 augment category. At some point we’ll introduce new augments levels that require MK-7, and at that time there probably won’t be as large of a selection of items to RE to get them. As we introduce more items and tiers, the density of items you can RE to get MK-7 will increase, and MK-8 will eventually appear and continue along that cadence.

This is not correct. You will be able to augment it. This specific outfit is also set to adaptive weight in 1.3.

Am I missing something here? So much for any gear having maximum statistical efficiency.

Augment slots can be upgraded. It’s substantially more valuable to crit a level 50 crafted orange because it gets the high tier augment, and you’re spending the higher tier materials on that item. Crit crafting lower level items does not provide as much of a bonus, because you’ll want to upgrade the slot if you use it at higher level. It’s also cheap to create the lower level items.

The balance was right there, they knew augments would be a long term and widespread gear goal for all players, thus they lowered the amount of the primary stat (Strength, Willpower, Power, Crit, Endurance) by 10 for all augments and added the 11 endurance.

Augment stat distribution was indeed changed with the long-term expectation of gradually making them part of your expected power level.

Sorry for the confusion – this is a timing issue. When I responded to the first questions in the interview, augments went up to MK-7 and that was included in the screenshot. By the time the follow-up was complete augments had changed to end at MK-6, and thus that’s reflected in the table. I didn’t notice until after the interview was live, so the screenshot is dated. Augments range from MK-1 to MK-6, the 22 augments require MK-6, and the highest crafted items get an MK-6 augment slot.

Although it can be derived from one of my answers above: the reduction to extraction costs is 30%. Extraction and augment costs will be continue to be evaluated based on the economic data we get from 1.3.
